Using ready-made slaw mix in this crunchy salad cuts down on prep time. And because it uses lean ground beef, this savory main dish is full of iron and B-vitamins.

This was a awesome recipe. My husband has a hard time eating his vegetables, so need to add a twist to salads. He loved it. Of course, I am a spice girl (by cooking, not by singing...lol), to give a little more Asian flavor, I sprinkled All Spice in my ground beef. Delicious!!!

This could be one of my favorites Eatingwell recipes so far, and I've tried a lot. This was so incredibly easy to make first of all, as long as you buy a cabbage mix already shredded. The rest was quick and easy. But the best part was the yummy, complex taste that I wasn't expecting from such a simple dish. The choice of dressing for your cabbage salad might also influence the overall taste so choose wisely. I used kewpie deep roasted sesame dressing.
